Finally home

After eight hours or so, they reached home just before 10 pm. It was great help that Pinga's friend let them borrow this portable DVD player. They watched Madagascar, Anpanman, etc.

Coco-chan today

Coco-chan created this heart shaped island while Pingu was talking to his daddy.

He had many questions today as well.

- How come there's no medicine for Corona?

- How do you make maracas?

- What is good about wearing seatbelt in the car?

Pinga remembers when he asked how come there is Corona virus. Now he is asking how come there's no medication for it.

Dinner stop in Värnamo

It takes 6.5 hours to drive back to Lund. They stopped at Burger King for dinner. They were very happy to get out of the car.

Meeting Pingu's dad

One of the main purposes of the trip was to see Pingu's dad. They met briefly outside of their place. He and his wife seemed to be well but he got tired and cold so they headed back. It was twins first time to meet their grandpa.

Arrived in Mjölby

They drove for 4.5 hours and arrived in Mjölby around 8pm last night. Twins don't like to be in the car for a long time so they asked many times "Are we there yet? 着いた〜?"

QP-chan at home

QP-chan was having cold and stayed home Tuesday and Wednesday. She made lots of beads art like these.

Fall colours

Leaves are yellow, orange and red and falling. Twins like to pickup chestnuts.

Blowing kisses

Pinga took twins to daycare. It takes a while to leave then there as they want to hug and hug again. She came out and then they noticed that they could see her from these windows. You can see QP-chan is blowing kisses to Pinga. Coco-chan did that too.

Iron beads afternoon

Twins have been making bracelets and necklaces with those beads. Pingu introduced them to a new way of using them. They were happy making penguin, Pikachu, Totoro, etc.

2.5 years old birthday

Pingu's sister's daughter turned 2 5 years so they've celebrated it. It was a very nice cake but QP-chan was not interested as it has much cream ok it but all others liked it.

Children's hospital

Coco-chan was at the clinic again this morning for follow up. This time, they met two doctors as one of them were on the training. Coco-chan is getting better but still has severe pain from time to time so they will come back here in a month.

Off to school

It was unusual that QP-chan was up early at 7:45. Momo-chan was off to school at 7:50 so they hugged at the entrance.

Huge pomelo

Pinga bought this huge pomelo. It weighs more than 1.5 kg. Pinga was peeling it and thinking... if it's not tasty, that would be so tragic as it is so big. Luckily, it was ok sweetness and taste.

Waffle Tuesday

Momo-chan goes to school a bit later than usual ok Tuesdays. So Pinga made waffles according to his request. He and the twins were very happy.

Map of Japan

They put this map on the bathroom wall. Twins were very curious about the local products and famous things and asked many questions to Pinga. 

QP: is this a white apple?

P: No, that's a pear.

Coco: What is Namahage?

P: They are local god that protects people from evil things.

Fun with cousin

They went to have lunch at Tirups herb garden. After lunch, they had a lot of fun with this playground.

Back at home

Pinga was happy to be back home. She was discharged from the hospital in the afternoon after all the tests. The reason for the stomach pain is still unknown but the doctors have checked nothing's wrong for heart and lungs.

Momo-chan went to a scout camp around 17 and twins biked together with Pinga to the playground. They were happy to stay at daycare for a longer time but seemed to be tired from that. Coco-chan fell asleep first then QP-chan moved to his bed and slept together like this.

Pinga at emergency

Pinga had severe stomach pain during the night and went to emergency with ambulance around 5 am. They checked her up thoroughly and  was about to discharge her at 1 pm. Then the doctor found some irregularities in the test results and decided to get her hospitalized. So she is having early dinner at the hospital now. She found medical care of Lund to be better than that of Vancouver.

Colouring QP-chan

QP-chan picked the mushrooms page to colour. She did a great job.

Coco-chan's questions

Coco-chan has good questions everyday. Last Friday, first thing in the morning he asked was "Why is there Corona (virus)?"

Other questions he asked to Pinga were:

- why are there day and night?

- why is there a moon in the sky even though it's morning?

- how do they make rubber band?

- why are balloons stinky?

Gokart again

Yesterday Momo-chan and some friends went to the gokart track again. They were there for several hours and twins were watching again.

New way of biking?

QP-chan was putting her legs up like this while biking. She seems to have good balance and athletic ability.

Plus plus

These blocks are called Plus plus. Twins and Pinga made unicorn, bunny, chick, and turtle together.

Cotton candy

QP-chan wanted one for herself and became very upset when Pinga ordered just one to share. But the cotton candy they got was huge and enough for both of them. Coco-chan stopped eating after a while but QP-chain continued and finished it.

Mini Morgana

Twins liked this ride a lot and tried it three times. Here you can see them driving.

Carousel QP-chan

QP-chan wanted to ride this but Coco-chan was not interested. So she went to ride it alone. Pinga thought she would get on the horse but she chose the one next to it. She first got scared and started to cry but then calmed down and became ok after that. This photo was taken towards the end of the ride when she picked up her mood.

Tivoli

After lunch, they walked to Tivoli. The twins were so excited to see all the Halloween decorations and rides. They were 105 cm or so and had to look for the rides that are fine with their height and age.

Ramen lunch

After the embassy, they walked to this ramen place for lunch. It was unexpectedly tasty.

Japanese embassy in Copenhagen

Twins and Pinga went to the embassy to apply for twins passports. Pinga was impressed by the efficiency of the embassy staff. The passports were issued within two hours. They just waited while reading kids books.

Dance class

QP-chan is no longer into her dance outfit as it is itchy. She chose this outfit for the class.

Recycling station

Before the dance class, twins went to recycling station with Pingu and Pibga. They helped throwing moving boxes into the carton bin. https://photos.app.goo.gl/J4Wpo7sEyPjeRZZj7 

Biking to the daycare

Twins wanted to bike to daycare this morning. It was a bit quicker than walking as they have no problem with pedal bikes these days. They were saying they need gloves as it was cold.

Raspberry Coco-chan

Coco-chan was eating raspberries like this.

Stuffy strollers

Twins put their stuffed animals in the strollers abd wanted to go home like this. Unfortunately the strollers helping to daycare so they had to give up.

I painted this!

When Pinga went to pick twins up, Coco-chan told her he painted this picture of ghost. As it was sunny, they spent almost all day outside.

Off to daycare

Twins like to do pretend play. QP-chan has a rabbit baby to take care of while Coco-chan has a sheep friend.

Momo-chan gokart debut!

After the shopping, they decided to go by the Lockarp gokart track. Pingu knew Mom-chan was interested in trying so they thought they could check if he was tall enough to ride. The staff said that as long as he is 10+ years, it should be fine so it became his first time to try. He has lots of fun and rode for 10 minutes with two other persons.

Owl Momo-chan

Yesterday, Pingu, Momo-chan and twins went to buy some floor hockey equipment. Close to one of the places was this cute playground so they stayed and played a while. Momo-chan climbed up and hung down like this for a photo opportunity. Look at that hair!

Pingu changed!

QP-chan continues to take care of Pingu. In the morning, she changed then changed Pingu into a day t-shirt as well.

Bathing together

It's usually just twins but Momo-chan joined this evening and they had so much fun. It was a bit too wet around the bath tub afterwards though.

Still many boxes

Pinga unpacked four boxes today but still many boxes to go. Daycare was closed so twins were at home. As QP-chan was having cold, they did different kind of indoor activities.

Kids dance

They went to the kids dance class as usual. Two more times and the term ends so two weeks later, Pingu and Pinga got to see what they've learned.

At the bakery

They went to take passport photo and then checked out some stores. There was still time so they had snack at this bakery. It was a very nice window seat.

Banana waffles

There was more time this morning so Pinga made waffles with banana. Coco-chan was happy eating it with Nutella and a lot of cream. Momo-chan woke up and joined him. As usual, she just put strawberry jam. She does not like cream or milk.
